More details are also emerging about what happened Wednesday night at the apartment at 9143 Ridge Pecan Drive, in an apparently chaotic robbery and drug deal gone bad that left one man dead and three men with gunshot wounds. East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office officials said a group of five men went to the apartment of Jared Christopher Vincent “with the sole purpose of stealing money and drugs from Vincent.”

Only one man, 20-year-old Demarcus James of Prairieville, went inside Vincent’s apartment and is the suspected shooter, according to the sheriff’s office. The others stayed in the car or outside the apartment.

Sheriff’s officials didn’t say exactly what happened inside the apartment, but gunshots were fired. James was shot several times, and Vincent was dead. A “large amount of marijuana” and evidence of a struggle and gunfire were found in the apartment, according to the sheriff’s office.

One of the other men who was there, 19-year-old Aaron Hargrove of Prairieville, told detectives that James went into the apartment to negotiate a drug deal. Hargrove said he heard multiple gunshots, saw Vincent’s roommate fleeing the apartment and shot him in the back. The roommate was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive, according to the sheriff’s office.

James later arrived at a hospital in a neighboring parish with multiple gunshot wounds. Detectives arrested him at the hospital Thursday on suspicion of first-degree murder.

Several other people have also been arrested.

Avery Honea, a 17-year-old Prairieville resident, was waiting outside of the apartment with Hargrove, according to the sheriff’s office. He was arrested Friday morning on suspicion of being a principal to first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.

Ivan Graham, a 19-year-old Gonzales resident, and Bryton Montelaro, an 18-year-old Gonzales resident, were waiting in a vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office. They were arrested Friday morning on suspicion of being principals to first-degree murder.

Hargrove was arrested Thursday on suspicion of being a principal to first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.

Another man, 20-year-old Patrick Anderson of Prairieville, was arrested but was apparently not at the scene. According to the sheriff’s office, Anderson arrived at a local hospital after the shooting with a gunshot wound to the hand. He told detectives that a family member came to his home with blood on his clothes and with several pistols. The family member told Anderson the pistols had been used in a shooting in Baton Rouge, according to the sheriff’s office.

Anderson agreed to clean and hide the weapons, but a pistol apparently accidentally discharged and shot him in the hand while he was unloading it, sheriff’s officials said.
